A Change in the Wind


On Monday, December 10, 2012, I received what seemed to be endless blessings. A contact on Linkedin reached out to me in order to recruit me for a re-branding project, which was for an Austrian brand that was looking to create a US presence. Later on that evening I received an email from a fashion company looking for a PR Assistant. Tuesday morning when I got to work there was a note from a client I helped with a jewelry purchase. This customer said she was so pleased with her shopping experience that she wanted to bring me on board to assist with the PR.

At this point I was overjoyed, six months of planning, hard work, and prayers brought me to this moment and I cannot begin to tell you how gracious I am. Hard work and determination really yields returns. Speak to everyone you can about what it is you want to do or accomplish and be yourself. My Linkedin contact saw the determination in my resume and email etiquette. From this determination she saw I could be of great help to this client. The fashion company that I am interviewing for this Monday reviewed my application for a completely different job than what I applied for, knowing that my strengths were really strong in PR. Finally, my customer who could potentially be my new boss has never seen my work or my resume but she knew my abilities just through shopping with me and seeing the passion I had for the products I was selling.

Hard work is what will make your dreams come true. Push on!
